How often do you eat these foods? (Unhealthy)

    In the "me time" and "payday treats" threads food gets mentioned a lot so I'm asking how often people eat the items on my list or similar as I've probably forgotten a few things. This isn't my grocery shop list by the way! Well not a complete list anyway;)

    Pizza from 4*pizza/Dominos
    Chinese takeaway/delivery
    McDonalds/Burger King/ Supermacs/KFC/Subway
    Ben + Jerry's ice cream
    Bags of Minstrels/M+M's/Maltesers/Popcorn----cinema food
    Pringles
    Wine/Beer
    Cake
    Chocolate bars
    Biscuits
    Coca cola/Fanta/Sprite/Lucozade, etc
    Starbucks/Insomnia/Costa style coffee


    I buy chocolate and biscuits every single week. I would get a takeaway around once every 2 weeks, no more than that. McDonalds maybe once or twice a month.

    I avoid buying Ben+Jerrys/Hagan Daz because I would eat them if they were in the house. Probably no more than 1 tub every 2 months if I have a craving for it. Ben+Jerrys is on offer in Tesco for only around €3 and I had to force myself to not buy it earlier because I don't want to be eating it.

    I never buy Pringles/Taytos.

    Wine 1 bottle per week max. I'm not a big drinker.

    Coffee shop coffees, probably 3 or 4 a week.

    If there is somebody who eats none of the above, I'm jealous of how fabulous you probably look. I'm not overweight at all but I imagine I'd look so healthy without junk food.

    Pizza from 4*pizza/Dominos -- maybe once a month? I like it, I just rarely order pizza.
    Chinese takeaway/delivery -- maybe once a month? I like it, I just rarely order in.
    McDonalds/Burger King/ Supermacs/KFC/Subway -- I never eat fast food. Subway I see as more of a deli, and I'll eat there maybe . . . once a month?
    Ben + Jerry's ice cream -- ice cream in general, I might have a scoop or two once/twice a week, after dinner.
    Bags of Minstrels/M+M's/Maltesers -- eh, hardly ever?
    Pringles -- never; although I have found these salt & vinegar mini rice cake things that are DELICIOUS. (No really, I'm not a healthy eater freak, they're just that good.)
    Wine/Beer -- I'll have a couple of drinks a couple of times a week. Himself manages a pub, so it can't be avoided. :rolleyes:
    Cake -- we have cake at work whenever it's someone's birthday. Other than that, not much. I love cake, but himself doesn't really, so I wouldn't really make a cake just for myself!
    Chocolate bars -- maybe twice a month?
    Biscuits -- rarely
    Starbucks/Insomnia/Costa style coffee -- I'll have a chai latte (vanilla creme frappuccino in warm weather) a few times a month.

    Ta daaaaaaaaa

    Pizza from 4*pizza/Dominos - Never
    Chinese takeaway/delivery - Once a month ish
    McDonalds/Burger King/ Supermacs/KFC/Subway - Once a month ish
    Ben + Jerry's ice cream - Never
    Bags of Minstrels/M+M's/Maltesers - Never, except maybe peanut M&M's in the day or two after a fight.
    Pringles - Never
    Wine/Beer - Eh....once a week I'd have a few drinks. Would avoid booze in the 4 weeks prior to a fight generally.
    Cake - Never really
    Chocolate bars - once a week
    Biscuits - EVERY DAY (see coffee below) :)
    Starbucks/Insomnia/Costa style coffee - I'd drink fancy coffee 3 or 4 times a day, but not from a starbucks or whatever. I'd be brewing it myself. Om nyom nyom nyom. I've had 4 mugs today and will probably have a decaf when I get home.

    God, now that I actually examine it, I eat very little crap.

    I don't think you eat that much crap if that's all the crap you eat. I think the healthy buzz comes from other things (exercise, eating veg, not drinking fizzy poop, yada yada). You have to indulge every once in a while. A bit of om nyom is good for the soul IMO.

    But you mention fights? Boxing I assume. Sports people tend to be really disciplined with food, in a good way. Imagine if I posted this thread n the nutrition forum!

    I have a coffee machine too (Nespresso). All my visitors love it but I don't use it for myself at all hardly. I make tea at home and have fancy coffee's when I'm out.

    I bought houmus, olives and sun dried tomatoes today. Not sure how bad they are. No sugar but really high in fat instead I think.

    True when compared with what clients of Gillian McKeith would be eating but all the junk does add up.

    I forgot to add fizzy drinks to the list, I avoid those too but I would have an occasional Lucozade or Diet Coke.

    I eat chocolate quite a bit. And I'd have wine regularly enough.

    Ben and Jerry's ... I consider them two of my best friends, let's put it that way! :D

    I wouldn't give that ice-cream up for all the love in the world! (I might be exaggerating slightly)

    Other than that, I'd be pretty good. Salad is my favourite food, so I find it easy to be relatively healthy! I'm a huge fruit and vegetable junkie :D

    I try to drink as much water as I can as well.

    Pizza from 4*pizza/Dominos - once a month, maybe. A small pizza feeds me for three days

    Chinese takeaway/delivery - once every 3-4 months. The last time I had it, I ate about 1/5th of it

    McDonalds/Burger King/ Supermacs/KFC/Subway - once every two weeks around

    Ben + Jerry's ice cream - never; there's a homemade ice cream shop down the street and once a week i'll go there. one scoop of their sorbet lasts me for about 4-5 days.

    Bags of Minstrels/M+M's/Maltesers/Popcorn----cinema food - never

    Pringles - never

    Wine/Beer - 2-3 times a year

    Cake - depends really. i usually go months without cake. it's too much for me to buy a cake on my own, so when i do eat cake it's a work celebration normally.

    Chocolate bars - never

    Biscuits - once a month maybe; never more than 2 at a time

    Coca cola/Fanta/Sprite/Lucozade, etc - I have one can of coke a day

    Starbucks/Insomnia/Costa style coffee - never

    I put in portions because it's not necessarily about whether or not you eat the above foods - it's how much of it you eat. When I eat cookies, for example, I don't eat an entire box in a sitting; a box will last me anywhere from 2 weeks to months. Same with ice cream. I eat ice cream, but can't buy ice cream at the store because the packages (even the pints!) are too big. I eat so little of it in a single sitting. One scoop is enough to last me a week.
    I don't have the appetite for big portions; I just like a little taste!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,503 ✭✭✭✭jellie


    Due to my long long attempts at dieting i try not to eat too much crap

    Pizza from 4*pizza/Dominos

    Bags of Minstrels/M+M's/Maltesers/Popcorn----cinema food - havent gone to the cinema much in awhile, but if i do ill get popcorn & probably skip dinner :P
    Pringles - rarely, unless someone buys a small pack in the pub and ill pick at them
    Wine/Beer - usually once a week on fri or sat, some weeks 0, some weeks fri and sat
    Cake - rarely
    Chocolate bars - rarely :( sometimes might have 1 on a friday
    Biscuits - very rarely :(
    Coca cola/Fanta/Sprite/Lucozade, etc - drink probably too much diet coke, probably 4/5 cans a week

    Pizza from 4*pizza/Dominos - Never...they taste gross. I might make pizza once a week.
    Chinese takeaway/delivery - I would either have a takeaway or a meal out once a week. I tend to eat half portions with takeaways.
    McDonalds/Burger King/ Supermacs/KFC/Subway - Practically never hate them. I might have chipshop chips every couple of months.
    Ben + Jerry's ice cream - I hate Ben and Jerrys, but I adore ice cream. I'm actually obsessed with it. Maybe 1-7 times a week. :D
    Bags of Minstrels/M+M's/Maltesers - The very odd time.
    Pringles - Not a crisp person.
    Wine/Beer - Occasionally, at parties or on holidays. I would rather not though. (And everyone else would rather I didn't too!)
    Cake - Special occasions.
    Chocolate bars - I'm a chocie savage. So I have to aspire to be tee total. For fear of having an incident. ~sobs~
    Biscuits - If someone offers me one, but I dont actually like them.
    Starbucks/Insomnia/Costa style coffee - I love Chai tea lattes, but generally I wouldn't be a regular coffee house visitor.

    I don't think of alot of these food as unhealthy though. Just something I dont want to be having too much of.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54 ✭✭jojo2


    well now I'm feeling guilty about eating this packet of dairy milk buttons! am I the only one that needs some chocolate every day?!
    on the other foods:

    Pizza from 4*pizza/Dominos: share a pizza with the OH maybe twice a month
    Chinese takeaway/delivery: once a month
    McDonalds/Burger King/ Supermacs/KFC/Subway: hardly ever but sometimes a hangover calls for a good supermacs!
    Ben + Jerry's ice cream: never, sensitive teeth so stay away from ice-cream
    Bags of Minstrels/M+M's/Maltesers/Popcorn----cinema food: go to the cinema about twice a month, must have popcorn & some maltesers
    Pringles: hardly ever
    Wine/Beer: usually either a bottle of wine or beers on fri or sat night
    Cake: never buy it but if offered some I wouldn't turn it down!
    Chocolate bars: as I said above every day!
    Biscuits: rarely
    Coca cola/Fanta/Sprite/Lucozade: never, drink water all the time
    Starbucks/Insomnia/Costa style coffee: never, recession times mean I make my own coffee in the morning!

    looking at the above I'm going to try and cut down on the chocolate...thought everyone needed some every day!!

    Pizza from 4*pizza/Dominos - once a week, it's my Friday treat. Might have one midweek if I'm having a bad week for whatever reason. Was eating pizza for dinner 4-5 times a week there but after about a month of that the pounds started to creep on so I had to stop, what can I say, I reallllly like pizza
    Chinese takeaway/delivery - never
    McDonalds/Burger King/ Supermacs/KFC/Subway - maybe once a fortnight, usually at about 3am on a Saturday night
    Ben + Jerry's ice cream - never, I'd have the whole tub gone in an evening if I let it in the house
    Bags of Minstrels/M+M's/Maltesers/Popcorn----cinema food - Popcorn maybe once or twice a month, the others not ever really
    Pringles - once in a blue moon, never buy them but if they're offered I don't say no
    Wine/Beer - nearly every day, love a glass of wine or a bottle of nice beer with my dinner
    Cake - once in a blue moon, not really a cake fan
    Chocolate bars - every day if I'm not trying to lose weight :o Once or twice a week if I am
    Biscuits - as with ice cream, I demolish the packet in one sitting, so they're not allowed in the house. I might cave every two months or so though
    Coca cola/Fanta/Sprite/Lucozade, etc - Every day, only diet coke, still really bad for you though
    Starbucks/Insomnia/Costa style coffee - maybe twice a month


    My diet tends to be pretty crap tbh but I keep a close eye on my weight and if it starts to creep up I lay off the pies for a while. As long as I can fit into my size 10 jeans I eat like a whale.

    it's definately worth it for body and mind..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10 lucyluu


    Pizza from 4*pizza/Dominos -- maybe once a year I eat out all the time but dont really like pizza
    Chinese takeaway/delivery -- maybe once a month but it is normally Thai or Indian instead of Chinese
    McDonalds/Burger King/ Supermacs/KFC/Subway -- Rare - 2/3 times a year as I hate this sort of food

    But now here is where I come into my own.....

    Ben + Jerry's ice cream -- ice cream in general i eat every couple of days, always have magnums in the fridge and probably have a fresh whipped icecream cone a day in the summer
    Bags of Minstrels/M+M's/Maltesers -- Probably 1 or 2 during the day
    Pringles -- probably have some pringles every night. Defineatly have crisps every day a nice big bag of tayto or the jumbo bag of sea salt and cracked black pepper ones
    Wine/Beer -- I drink wine a couple of times a week
    Cake -- I have a cake or pastry nearly every day
    Chocolate bars -- a couple a day, usually have a bar of chocolate at breakfast
    Biscuits -- usually in the evening with some tea not bothered too much about biscuits
    Starbucks/Insomnia/Costa style coffee -- I have a frappuccino a day if I am in Dublin.
    Coke etc - I have a couple of cans of diet coke a day.

    Even thinking about this I feel mortified that I eat so much crap. I am only a size 10 though and I am happy at that. Easily know i grew up in a sweet shop....I am older now ...but old habits die hard!!!

    Pizza from 4*pizza/Dominos:
    I have pizza from Bistro Bianconi maybe once a month

    Chinese takeaway/delivery:
    Exactly once in my life!

    McDonalds/Burger King/ Supermacs/KFC/Subway
    Maybe Supermacs once every 2 months or so. Just chips. Could definitely live without it!

    Ben + Jerry's ice cream:
    Very rarely, like once a year if it happened to be in the house for some reason

    Bags of Minstrels/M+M's/Maltesers/Popcorn----cinema food:
    Popcorn once every two weeks, don't eat much of it though.

    Pringles:
    I love Pringles! Wouldn't have them more than once a month though.

    Wine/Beer:
    Depends if I'm out, I'd say on average the equivalent to 4-6 bottle of wine a month

    Cake:
    Hardly ever

    Chocolate bars:
    3-4 a month, all during my period :(

    Biscuits:
    Hardly ever, could definitely live without them

    Coca cola/Fanta/Sprite/Lucozade, etc:
    I drink waaaaay too much Diet Coke, none of the others though

    Starbucks/Insomnia/Costa style coffee:
    Don't drink coffee!


    My biggest weakness is a big durty chicken fillet roll ... nyom nyom!

    Pizza from 4*pizza/Dominos: About once a year.
    Chinese takeaway/delivery: Maybe once every 4/5 months.
    McDonalds/Burger King/ Supermacs/KFC/Subway Subway every now and then.
    Ben + Jerry's ice cream
    Never. Don't really like it.
    Bags of Minstrels/M+M's/Maltesers/Popcorn----cinema food Twice a year?
    PringlesRarely.
    Wine/BeerCider?
    Cake Er...everyday?:o
    Chocolate bars Sometimes up to 5 a day.
    Biscuits Lots.
    Coca cola/Fanta/Sprite/Lucozade, etc About 3 cans of coke a week. Sometimes a just really crave it.
    Starbucks/Insomnia/Costa style coffeeNever.




    But I'm pretty spoiled with food. My Mum is the head banqueting chef in a big hotel, so she often sneaks food home/cooks. Plus I like to cook myself, I'm not a big takeaway person. I often cook for my brother as my Mum is always at work. PLUS I work as a waitress in a 4* hotel where we always have loads of desserts leftover. I had seabass tonight at work. And I cooked myself mussels at home before work. And the head chef seems to like me so he always gives me plenty of food! And I also work in a bar/restaurant where we get food. Food food food food!

    Takeaway food usually makes me feel like ****. Too greasy and all that. But I'm ridiculous for cakes. I eat so many desserts at work. I also eat too much chocolate. Last year during college I baked apple crumble every second day I reckon, ha!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,208 ✭✭✭fatmammycat

I don't like Icecream or chocolate, don't drink sodas-unless it's a splash of diet coke with rum, don't eat meat so no KFC or the like, brew my own coffee in the morning and don't eat take away very often.
    Urgh, how disappointing. Now I feel like doing something utterly wrong!

    I partaket in the overindulgence of alcohol about twice a week -cider/wine/vodka. This can be more if there are any special occasions/excuses.

    Pizzas etc are out for the next few weeks as I have booked a few days away in Oct.

    Pizza from 4*pizza/Dominos - Never. I had a Bistro Bianconi in June and can't see myself eating pizz anytime soon.

    Chinese takeaway/delivery - once a month, but not every month, and I don't eat the rice.

    McDonalds/Burger King/ Supermacs/KFC/Subway - Never BK, Never KFC, Haven't had a Subway in months(I'd only eat it if I was really desperate), Mcdonalds I'd get a craving for every couple of months and that's it(I do regularly get a Cappucino there tho:o), Supermacs only if exceptionally pissed, and only once in the last two months(And generally I don;t eat it once I have it bought as I'm too drunk to:rolleyes:)


    Ben + Jerry's ice cream - Never

    Bags of Minstrels/M+M's/Maltesers/Popcorn----cinema food- Never M+Ms, or minstrels, rarely maltesers, popcorn at cinema, but not in the last 2 months.

    Pringles - Never

    Wine/Beer - Wine at weekends, Never drink beer

    Cake - at most once a month, maybe less.

    Chocolate bars - Only dark choc, 85% cocoa

    Biscuits - Nope

    Coca cola/Fanta/Sprite/Lucozade, etc - Nope....evil things, water only

    Starbucks/Insomnia/Costa style coffee -Rarely! Tho I probably would have 4 Mcdonalds Cappucinos a week....less than 100 cals and 6g of sugar tho so I don't feel too guilty.

    Pizza from 4*pizza/Dominos - once every few months
    Chinese takeaway/delivery - once a month
    McDonalds/Burger King/ Supermacs/KFC/Subway - once a month/ 6 weeks
    Ben + Jerry's ice cream - never
    Bags of Minstrels/M+M's/Maltesers/Popcorn----cinema food - once a month
    Pringles - once a month
    Wine/Beer - every second weekend
    Cake - almost never
    Chocolate bars - almost never
    Biscuits - one or two a week
    Coca cola/Fanta/Sprite/Lucozade, etc - my weakness is energy drinks, don't be shocked but I would drink about 4 - 5 a day...
    Starbucks/Insomnia/Costa style coffee - once a day

    The junkfood is not that bad so I attribute my weight to a glandular problem (it used to be big-boned until South Park used that one)... as for the energy drinks - with the amount of heart problems in my family I really shouldn't drink that much caffine... I am tempting fate at this stage...

    Pizza from 4*pizza/Dominos - once every few months. Used to be every time I didn't feel like cooking or was hanging but this year has involved a major healthy eating kick

    Chinese takeaway/delivery - Never Chinese takeout, I find it really really bland. Every couple of months I get Indian take out from the happiest place on earth, the Bu Ali Tandoori on Clanbrassil st or head into the Madina for some spicy spicy goodness

    McDonalds/Burger King/ Supermacs/KFC/Subway - I miss whoppers :( Have had mcdonalds once this year, no supermacs (might have to indulge in garlic & cheese fries soon though), really massively dislike kfc and subways

    Ben + Jerry's ice cream - Once every 2 weeks, my boyfriend has a killer sweet tooth so we get a tub a lot at the weekends. Luckily enough he eats most of it

    Bags of Minstrels/M+M's/Maltesers/Popcorn----cinema food- Rarely

    Pringles - Never, can't stand pringles. Other crisps however, especially if they're salt and black pepper flavour, yum!

    Wine/Beer - Most weeks would have a bottle of wine over the course of it. The last few weeks have been a bit mad though, much booze has been consumed. Lot of beer at gig last night, time to give Mr Liver a break methinks.

    Cake - oh cake, I spend a lot of my time looking at photos of it on tastespotting.com but it's too high in calories to be eaten regularly. Only on special occasions

    Chocolate bars - small ones occasionally throughout the week. Milkyway crisprolls ftw!

    Biscuits - Not a big biccy head. I do like big chewy M&S style chocolate chip cookies but haven't had one in about 8 months

    Coca cola/Fanta/Sprite/Lucozade, etc - Way too much diet coke/coke zero/ pepsi max. I actually drove to McDonalds the other night to buy a large diet coke, because I'm addicted to it with ice

    Starbucks/Insomnia/Costa style coffee -Not very often, every so often I'll pick up a bald barista coffee on the way to work or get a chai latte. I used to have a takeout coffee a day but I figured out what it cost over a year and knocked that one on the head, I have a lot of trouble finishing whole cups of coffee, once they go cool I lose interest so it was a bit of a waste of money

  • Pizza from 4*pizza/Dominos - once or twice a month. I love it but it's a rip off so I don't get it as much as I'd like.
    Chinese takeaway/delivery - once a month. I don't like Chinese takeaway that much and I often cook Asian food at home.
    McDonalds/Burger King/ Supermacs/KFC/Subway - It depends, I can eat it twice a week or more and then go months without it. When I'm very busy with college/work, I eat way too much of it. Trying to stop that awful habit!
    Bags of Minstrels/M+M's/Maltesers/Popcorn----cinema food - Whenever I feel like it - twice a week maybe.
    Pringles - twice a month or so. I love crisps and I buy them several times a week at least.

    Chocolate bars - 2-4 times a week.
    Biscuits - a pack per week.
    Coca cola/Fanta/Sprite/Lucozade, etc - twice a month maybe. I hate fizzy drinks but crave them sometimes.

    Good ole home cookin'! And I do eat out a fair bit. ;)

    Nah, I just prefer savoury food and I always bake stuff myself that could be considered junk, just none of the above.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    I can't believe how healthy everyone on here is!!! Jebus. I eat Burger King / McDonald's or something to that effect four or five times a week. Takeaway pizza once a week, on a Sunday evening and that is after having a Sunday dinner!
    Order Chinese every once in a while. Generally eat like a pig. Snack constantly, crisps, chocolate, whatever!
    Wine, regularly! But it's cool, I'm young and seem to have an amazing metabolism :) If I think I'm putting on weight, I just cut out Burger King etc for lunch in work everyday and I'll be grand!

    Everyone says I'm gonna be fat when I'm older though!! :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 502 ✭✭✭Anna Molly


    Pizza from 4*pizza/Dominos Rarely, overpriced crap, IMO.
    Chinese takeaway/delivery Depends what kinda mood I'm in, It's only ever when I'm in Dublin. Maybe once every few weejs.
    McDonalds/Burger King/ Supermacs/KFC/Subway Only Subway, no one else actually does veg food, at it's once every two weeksish.
    Ben + Jerry's ice cream NEVER! It is overpriced sh*te!
    Bags of Minstrels/M+M's/Maltesers/Popcorn----cinema food Whenever I go to the cinema :cool: Not too often anymore.
    Pringles Christmas
    Wine/Beer Depends on the mood, wine is my new vice.
    Cake As above with the mood, got a whopper chocolate cake in Tesco yesterday, 'cause I was sad.
    Chocolate bars My mom buys those multipacks when she goes shopping, I only eat them because they are there. UGH.
    Biscuits Never really.
    Coca cola/Fanta/Sprite/Lucozade, etc My downfall.
    Starbucks/Insomnia/Costa style coffee Bugger all really, I do love Starbucks though.

    Holy clogged arteries batman!

    I'd be less worried about the fat and more about the health. McD's or Burger King 5 times a week is an awful lot!

    I know you're young. People tend to get conscientious about eating better as they get to the end of their 20s I suppose.

    You should also see the amount of salt she puts on her food.
    I'm amazed that she's;
    A. Not obese
    B. DEAD.

    Hahaha :) I know, I know! It's just so much easier to pop to BK or wherever on my lunch break! Plus I go through wee phases of being addicted to things and right now, bacon double cheese burgers are my thing! Mmmmm! I'm only twenty though and never really worry about my health! My only concern at the moment is my weight but I'm a size 8-10 so life is good for me!

    I'll probably be dead in ten years though! :(

    i fell really fat reading how good y'all are!

    In light of my earlier comment re: cake, I'd just like to mention that a coworker is leaving today, and we got a fantabulous strawberry shortcake for her party.

    I'm contemplating a (small) second piece.
